Not all languages are spoken. - Open to All!

Llewellyn was rather embracing this celebration. It was a lovely idea, really... It reminded him a bit of Valentine's day in his world, but somewhat nicer in a few ways...

He'd never really taken part in his world, never having had a reason to. Even if he had... It would have been complicated and difficult to explain at best. So, maybe he was looking at it with a more positive outlook based on the fact that he could openly celebrate it and enjoy himself as he was without stress or need for secrecy.

So when the man wasn't working one of his two jobs or spending time with his husband, he was out and about.

Llewellyn was often eager to offer some thoughts or opinions to those around him. After all, he had a particular knack for languages and Floriography was a personal favourite of his.

So if someone was trying to pick something out and seemed to be uncertain of their choice, wanting something with a little more thought than simply purchasing the first thing they saw... He gently interjected with some friendly recommendations. Something for a friend? A collection of Zinnia, apple blossom, pansies, and Eucalyptus tied together with a teal chiffon ribbon. Something more romantic? Yes, Llewellyn probably had suggestions there too...

He was a meddler at heart, after all, and was very prone to trying to help nudge people in the right direction. It had worked well enough for George Crabtree in his world, so clearly he knew what he was doing...

Right? Right.

Network/Wildcard: You are also welcome to reach out to him over the network for questions too, if you think your character wouldn't approach him directly.


Get Ivy out of the corner challenge START! - Closed to Ivy

It had been a while since he’d actually seen a particular vampire friend of his around, though to be fair, that might have something to do with how he tended to get during the winter months. He wasn’t fond of how dark the evenings got, and the cold always sunk in rather deep, even with a good winter coat. Then January had been… Complicated between the crystals and Enis showing up. So he’d been more than a little distracted, and supposed they just kept missing one another around the city.

Llewellyn had rather hoped that perhaps it meant she was busy with Harry… By which, he meant busy getting closer to the man and not continuing to make herself second guess her feelings and his. Someone should probably tell him to stop nudging people like a busybody, but it was a habit… If he thought his friends could be happy, he couldn’t help but try to encourage it.

Still, he’d been meaning to call or pop in to check on her… Have her out for a coffee and a walk around to catch up.

So without much forethought, the detective crosses the courtyard between buildings and heads up the steps to the Green Apartments. Once up to the second floor, he leaned against the door frame and reached up to knock. Maybe he should have texted first, as would be polite, but he sometimes forgot those things… But at least this whole celebration had given him a good excuse to reach out to friends, of which Ivy counted as, which was why he had something tucked under his arm for her.

And it wasn't like the distance between where he stayed and here had been particularly large if she wasn't in.


Comparing one world to another - Closed to Tommy

This time of year was definitely... A hazard. Yes, the crystal rains had stopped (thank goodness) and nothing solid was raining down on them anymore... But Llewellyn wasn't particularly good on his feet.

A particular friend from the Sphere knew that very well, having given him skating lessons.

But slippery cobblestones were not the friend of a man with poor balance who tended to walk fast, especially not one who had bags of supplies (ribbons purchased from Rhy's shop for tying bouquets that he intended to make and teach people to, along with snacks and some things needed for Pretzel) under one arm and a pretzel (the food) in another hand. So more than a few people got to witness him occasionally losing his footing and needing to catch himself on a wall.

But he was “Oh- er… Pardon!” He uttered at one point, nearly sliding into someone, only to awkwardly spin a little with a wobble and an arm moving for the wall of a nearby building to halt himself again. He lost the pretzel, sadly, but his attention was more on the person he'd almost run into. It didn't take him long to recognize Tommy, his expression turning apologetic. "Tommy! Hello, always nice to run into a friend. Well- not literally, of course."


When a plan backfires - Closed to Enis

The detective wasn’t entirely sure what to make of this ‘Cherishment’ event, beyond the fact that it was clearly this world’s version of Valentine’s Day. It was February, everyone was abuzz with sentimental words and gestures... At one time, he might’ve found it a bit tiring and grown a bit despondent, but this year he was actually rather enjoying it and embracing the idea.

Llewellyn had been out and about a lot in the city, busier with helping with floral arrangements than his other work for a change. Making bouquets with various meanings based on his knowledge, depending on the person’s needs.

He was between one point and another, absentmindedly wondering if he should purchase something from that new chocolatier that had opened. He was starting to feel a bit snackish, after all... Though he was hesitant, given he’d heard that some of their selections had... odd side-effects.

One thing he hadn’t considered was that someone might have already been there, with particular plans in mind.

Comments

Tommy grinned at the way the man seemed awkward about it.

"You should really see your face."

[gadaboutdetective]

Pointing it out was worse, Tommy. “What? O-oh.” That made him rather embarrassed, and so his face went a little more red. “Thank you for uh- pointing it out, but I’m sure I’d rather not.” He responded, making a point of focusing on the pretzel he’d been eating before.

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah, probably not," TOmmy laughed. "What can I say, we're young and energetic. It's what we are."

And he liked being able to show Gar how he liked it all.

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn shook his head, huffing as he tried to not let the continued discussion ruffle him. “It’s more that this isn’t a particular subject that is common for me to share with people, Tommy.” He mumbled, absentmindedly wondering how it was a subject that kept coming up with people.

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah, seems like it's not your speed. That's okay though. I don't wanna make you THAT much more uncomfortable."

He could get that it might make the man uncomfortable.

[gadaboutdetective]

“No, it’s not… Though I’ve noticed it is for a lot of people?” Llewellyn responded with a small shrug. Sometimes he wasn’t sure if it was a future person thing or not, but back at the Sphere, even Enis had asked point blank about his sex life. Which was… Nonexistent at the time, but still awkward to be asked about. Honestly, he was pretty sure it was a him thing, more than anything. “Only a little then, hm? But I uh- appreciate that, thank you.”

[doubled_speed]

YEah, Enis was like that, and Tommy was very familiar with that. He was, after all, someone that had slept with her.

"Yeah, no problem. Just ask shit, man. I know I'm crass."

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn nodded lightly. “I don’t know if I’d use the word crass. You just have an… uh- easier time talking about it than I do. I’ll just let you know in the future, or- well, it’s probably obvious.” He added with a little hum, he did tend to wear things on his face. It wasn’t like it frustrated him or anything, just made him feel a bit awkward. Which was probably fair. He’d been prone to saying things that confused or made people feel awkward enough in his world in different ways.

“Mm… Anyway, that aside. I am happy about how it’s all worked out, Tommy. It’s…” He rubbed the side of his face lightly, “It’s nice that even after everything, if we had to find ourselves in another odd world that we could all end up with those we came to care about.”

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah, better than going home and lacking any memory of them at all," Tommy answered with a shrug. It made himself happy, that he had Gar while he had him.

[gadaboutdetective]

“Agreed.” Llewellyn responded with a small, thoughtful little gesture around.

“I know a few people find it a bit strange to prefer it… But I don’t really feel particularly motivated to go home… Well- aside from checking in on one or two people, perhaps.” He responded in an honest, quieter tone.

Llewellyn had found a happiness with Rhy that he knows he could never hope to find back in his world. It’s not something he was eager to give up, especially not knowing what was waiting for him. Even if he knew that he wouldn’t remember this place when that day arrived...

But for now, he was happy to hold on to it and enjoy it for as long as he was allowed.

[doubled_speed]

TOmmy doesn't know what he wants. If he goes home he loses Gar. But if he goes home he can get his family back. He can be where he belongs.

"So long as Gar is here, I can't go home. He promised never to abandon me. I can't leave him behind. So, you know, I guess I'm here."

And he loves Gar, and Speedy, so it's not that much of a pain. He just, you know, is more torn.

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn could understand being that torn, if things had been a little different when he left. But he'd just lost his brother, and things had been rocky for him at work so... Not much that he felt tied to anymore.

But even so, he didn't envy Tommy. That was a complicated thing to have to feel. "Well, he's lucky to have you, Tommy... And I'll be glad to have you around as well." He didn't let go of friends easily, after all. He offered an amused smile, "Besides, never know when I might need a refresh on skating." An attempt at a light joke? Yeah, he sometimes managed them.

[doubled_speed]

A refresh on...?

Tommy laughs.

"Dude, you should leave sore asses to your husband, okay?"

[gadaboutdetective]

“I don’t think Rhy knows how to skat-” Llewellyn started to respond, before it all settled and he connected a bit late what Tommy had meant. His face heating up and he stumbled over his words again. “O-oh. I see what you meant now.”

[doubled_speed]

Tommy snickered and shook his head. "Man I'm sorry, but that was so easy."

He shouldn't have done that, it was horrible. But come on, he's funny like that.

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn huffed as he responded. “For that, I am not sharing more pretzels with you.” Still, an embarrassed smile crossed his face. He wasn’t being terribly serious about it. He knew well enough that he should have seen it coming. He really did make it easy sometimes…

[doubled_speed]

"That's fair," Tommy said. "Need any help getting things home?"

[gadaboutdetective]

“Oh? Uh- I wouldn’t want to take you out of your way if you were already in the middle of something.” He hadn’t forgotten Tommy had a business to run, after all. But Llewellyn glanced at his arm full of bags and considered it for a moment. He really had loaded up with more than was smart. “But if you’re not particularly busy at the moment, I wouldn’t mind the assistance.”

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah, I can do it. An exchange for the pretzel. Tell me where it's all going."

[gadaboutdetective]

"That's a fair exchange." Llewellyn responded with a small nod, "It's all going to A-01 in the Red Building, aside from the ribbons. So! A little help that far would be nice." He added after a moment or two of though, Pretzel's treats definitely went there, as did some of the food he'd purchased.

[doubled_speed]

Tommy nods and takes bags from Llewellyn. Then is gone. And, moments later, Llewellyn would receive a text.

Dropped everything off in the kitchen. Don't ask how, you'd be annoyed at my powers. Anything else?

[gadaboutdetective]

Llewellyn looked slightly confused when he was left standing there without the bags or Tommy.

I don't think annoyed is the word I'd use. But, no that should do it? Thank you...???

[doubled_speed]

You're welcome. I'm a great service. I'll be heading back to work.

[gadaboutdetective]

You are, and a good friend. Don't forget to grab another pretzel before you go, but have a good day.

[doubled_speed]

I'll do that. Thanks man. Later!
